Arriva Group announces its new Zero Emission Institute<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u00b7 The Institute will accelerate Arriva\u2019s journey to net-zero across Europe, working in partnership with cities and regions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The initial focus will be on buses, with trains, buildings and processes part of the remit<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pan-European passenger transport company, Arriva Group, has announced a new Zero-Emission Institute which will be led by a team of experts in fleet planning, to accelerate its journey to net-zero in partnership<\/strong> with cities and regions.<\/p>\n

The Institute will be a central hub of knowledge and expertise for Passenger Transport Authorities and for Arriva\u2019s business units, sharing pan-European experience and best practice in the roll-out of alternative fuels and transitioning fleets to zero emissions<\/strong>. This will help to build longer term decarbonisation strategies alongside town and city transport authorities.<\/p>\n

Anne Hettinga, Arriva Group Board Member and Managing Director of the Netherlands is leading Arriva\u2019s wider sustainability strategy across Europe and commented: \u201cThis is a great moment for Arriva as it allows us to consolidate all of our expertise under one virtual roof. I feel proud of everything that\u2019s been achieved already, but now we must look to accelerate decarbonisation<\/strong> in Europe and passenger transport will be critical for this\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Institute plans to forge relationships and partnerships with a number of external organisations which will in turn build Arriva\u2019s internal expertise and knowledge of the latest emerging technologies. Partnerships<\/strong> will include green energy companies, academic institutions, technological innovators, engineers, vehicle designers and manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Matt Greener, Zero Emission Institute Director, said: \u201cSustainable passenger transport solutions are a crtical component of the journey to net-zero and partnership will be the key to achieving this. Governments, local authorities, operators, manufacturers, academics, engineers and energy providers will need to come together to innovate and solve challenges to ensure a faster transition<\/strong>. I\u2019m excited about the role of my team and the contribution we will make under the banner of our Zero Emission Institute\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Arriva Group has a unique network across 14 European countries, more than any of its European competitors, each on different stages of the sustainability journey. This means it has experience in different types of alternative fuel technologies and knows the challenges to enabling sometimes complex transitions which require the right infrastructure in order to be successful. For example, securing the necessary grid capacity to fuel an electric vehicle depot can take years in some countries. As a leader in sustainable transport solutions<\/strong>, Arriva\u2019s valuable insights will support the development of long-term strategies and investment for cities and regions.<\/p>\n

The Institute has been set up to support Arriva\u2019s vision to help shape a future where passenger transport is the best choice. To achieve this, partnership and clear government policies that encourage people to use public transport are essential. Modal shift to public trasnport will make a significant difference in the journey to decarbonisation by reducing car use, which in turn reduces emissions in our towns and cities. At the same time, adopting cleaner and greener fuel technology<\/strong> will ensure public transport makes its contribution to the the EU\u2019s goal to become climate neutral by 2050.<\/p>\n

Arriva already operates zero-emission vehicles in most of its European countries, utilising electric and hydrogen technologies, while it also operates vehicles using alternative fuels such as biofuels, including hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO), biodiesel (RME) and biogas (biomethane). These alternative fuels enable significant reductions in emissions while longer term decarbonisation strategies take shape.<\/p>\n

As part of its work, the Zero Emission Institute will also analyse full lifecycle costs of vehicles and environmental impacts to tackle the necessary transformation of public transport networks, making them more sustainable<\/strong> and more affordable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The initial focus will be on bus fleet transition, but the Institute will also be responsible for trains, buildings and processes. Arriva has already been involved in developing, trialling and implementing new hybrid train technologies in both the UK and the Netherlands. The rail industry presents some additional complexities with tracks still requiring electrification, which is traditionally the responsibility of railway infrastructure companies, not operators. This is why partnership will be critical to the future of sustainable transport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
